I sung sometimes my thoughts

I sung sometimes my thoughts and fancy's pleasure
Where then I list, or time served best and leisure,
While Daphne did invite me
To supper once, and drank to me to spite me.
I smiled: yet still did doubt her,
and drank where she had drank before to flout her
But O while I did eye her,
Mine eyes drank love, my lips drank burning fire.
